I plan to call them asking for the TPE reroute. If the say no, I will wait to see what happens. Although just skipping the HKG- HGH and returning from HKG is perfectly acceptable for me too.
Something interesting that I just noticed as well is that while my original itinerary had me going from ORD to HNL to GUM to HKG, my new 'updated' itinerary, apart from the missing HGH-SFO segment has me going from ORD to SFO to HKG. it actually gets me there 3 hours earlier, and I am fine with it, but through all these years I hadn't come across this type of random unsolicited schedule change.
